: There are many many things for me to worry about this year. I am afraid this is fairly low on the list.

True. You have to be in the situation first.

: The problem is not going to BE a problem if the seeding proceedure ends up being close to a very elaborate random number generator.

Random, except for the picks. I think strong teams will still come out on top, as usual.

: The method of calculationing QP's provides very strong pressure toward the center. I suspect that there will be a very tight bell curve with only a very few breaking away from the center. I think that this system will require MANY MANY more seeding rounds to have the converge to the 'true' seeding.

True? I think a strong team against a weak one will still get a great score, even if they spend the last 90 seconds loading up the opponent's goal. Then taking the bar away from their opponent, if they need to.

And the possibility of super-alliances is very valid, I agree with Bill Beatty in this. We'll see.
